Trump Claims He Forced NATO Allies to Pay More, Ended Wars on Truth Social

• Former US President Donald Trump asserted on Truth Social that he compelled NATO allies to significantly increase their defense spending during his presidency.
• Trump claimed allies were spending only 2% of GDP on defense before him, which he "respectfully got them to 5% GDP" and made them pay immediately.
• He also stated he "single-handedly ended eight wars" and prevented Russia from taking all of Ukraine, saving millions of lives.
• Trump questioned NATO's effectiveness without US backing, suggesting China and Russia have "zero fear" of the alliance in such a scenario.
• The post comes amidst renewed focus on his foreign policy, including considering Greenland acquisition a US national security priority.
